Changing What’s Possible: The Disability Innovation Podcast | Season Three

Episode Nine | Accessible Accommodations, Inclusive Marketing, and More with Martyn Sibley

Martyn Sibley is on a mission to create a more inclusive world, and his work as an entrepreneur has involved building communities, making it easier to find accessible accommodations, curating and sharing relevant disability-related information and stories, and increasing disabled representation in the content and media we see every day. With co-founder Srin Madipalli, Martyn launched a disability magazine called Disability Horizons, an online disability lifestyle publication that gave disabled people a voice and a platform for 12 years. He and Srin also created and grew the startup Accommable, which was later acquired by Airbnb in 2017. 

Currently, Martyn is CEO and Founder of Purple Goat Agency, an inclusive international marketing agency. In this episode, Martyn shares stories from his entrepreneurial journey, insights into how he and his teams have built successful companies, and advice for fellow founders. He also introduces some of his latest efforts in advocacy and entrepreneurship, including the newly created Purple Collective and work with The Lilac Review, which aims to address inequalities faced by disabled business owners and bolster entrepreneurship in the UK.

A smiling man with a prosthetic leg sits cross-legged on a yoga mat outdoors, meditating in a sleeveless navy athletic outfit. Palm trees and a chain-link fence are visible in the sunny background. Overlaid text reads: “Mental Health Awareness Month — You Are Not Invisible: Mental Health, Disability, and the Care We All Deserve” alongside the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation logo.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month — a time to slow down, speak honestly, and remind ourselves that everyone deserves support, to be seen, and to feel whole.
